LUCK IN OPALS.
Verscious Jeweler Chats About the Re-
versal of am Old Superstition.

Vcrscious Jeweler Chats About the Re-
versal of am Old Superstition.
The most popular thing in tho way of
gems just now is the opal, says the New
York Commercial Adceriiser. Not that any
one objects to presents of diamonds, but
the opal is enjoying a boom in the best So
ciety. A veracioas Maiden lane jeweler
says the reason for this is that late re-
searches into ancient lore have entirely re-
versed the old notion that the opal Is an
unlucky stone. The exact contrary Is the
fact. a man may have all kinds OF luck
with the biggest diamond that was ever
found. Nothing but good fortune goes
with the opal. Young women who are
going to Europe get set of opal jewelry,
this jeweler says, to keep them from going
to the bottom. Gentlemen who are going
to Coney Island to take flyer on a race
buy pair Of opal sleeve-b buttons and win
on short horse.
ga Acustomer of mine, "he went on, "cano
in here the other day and told me little
story which illustrates the power OF tho
opal Last Christmas his wife made him
the present of a scarf-pin set with one oe
these marvellous stones. Atthat time he had
mortgag on his house; his business-he
is a coffee broker and had been fooling with
the wrong end of the market-was In q
desperate condition; he was threatened
with paresis, and things were going wrong
with him generally. Pretty soon coffee
began to rise. 1t kept going up and carried
this man right along with it. He got his
business into shape, paid of his mortgage
and went along swimmingly. Now, here's
the most remarkable part of the story.
Some one slipped the pin out of his scarf
one day in a crowd. Tho very next day
he fell down stairs and broke two ribs; his
wife upset a bottle of purple ink all over
his new summer clothes; his little boy
played truant from school and got arrested
for tying package of fire.
crackers to dogs tail; the
parlor maid smashed the new chandelier
to flinders with step-ladder; one of the
horses developed giandeis, and the hired
man poured a ladleful of melted lead down
his bootleg.
"During the next week a shutter fell off
the front of the house and hit policeman
on the head; the eas-meter man brought
in a bill of 7G7 900 feet for the month; the
cook set the house on fire with pan Of
melted grease, and moths got in the new
rSrlor carpet. When things came to this
pass the man saw that he would have to
draw the line. He sent for two detectives
aud told them to get that opal back if it
took all the money in New York. The next
day they found the opal In pawn shop.
And do you know, sir, that man just got
his opal back in time to get out of the
coffee market before the panic, and IL be
hadn't got out he would have gone higher
than a kite. There's nothing In the world
like an opal. Horse-shoes and four
leaved cioverS are nothing TO it."

Scranton (Pa-) correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, lie on the sofa and purr ap-
provlnSiy whenever one of the young ladies
performs waltz or other lively piece on
the piano, and she will listen attcnsively
TO the children's songs, but as soon as her
owner begins to tune up his violin she be-
comes very uneasy. The moment he starts
to play tune the cat darts at him as If she
had suddenly been seized with fit,
scratches viciously at the lower part of his
trousers leg and squalls as though she was
in great pain. IL he continues to play after
this demonstration Of her disapproval OF
that kind OF music, tho cat jumps up ard
tries to snatch the noisy instrument out of
his hands, and when she finds that she can
not do that, she runs around the room aud
news pitecusiy. As soon as the gentleman
lays the violin down on the piano
aud speaks kindly to the
cat, she seems pacified at once, trots cvor
to where he is standing, rubs her head
and back lovingly against his ankles, and
purrs contentedly, looking up to him aud
acting as * she wanted TO tell him that she

never MAKE any moro of those hateful
sounds. But, 50 sure as he undertakes to
resume playing, the cat begins her tan

put down tie violin again. She Is fond of
organ music, but she can not be taught to
ike the noise made by the violin strings.
She will tolerate the guitar, but the violin
never. The gentleman, who Is an excellent

his friends with little music from his
favorite instrument, he has servant takc

According to his own statement he Is oc-

An Inrenious orioIo.

1t is curious what variety of materials
Baltimore orioles will use in the construc-
ton of their nests. In the lawn of one Of
the prettiest homes ia the State of Mary
land pnir of orioles selected tree in
which to build. It was large FIR tree,
about forty-five feet from the house. The
lady OF the house was sewing by one Of
the windows opposite this tree early ono
beautiful summer morning, ard, on being
called away to some other room, she
placed her spool OF cotton on the window
sill. When she returned she found tho
spool was gone, and on looking for it dis
covered it on the foor of the porch which
was just outside of tho window. She
found that a considerable length of the
cotton was unwound, and looking for the
end Of il she traced it up to the nest OF the
oriole, and saw the bird busily weaving it
into the nest. The lady placed the spool
in the window, and IL was shown as q
.urioeity to ell who visited the house.

sTRAYED AWAY.

6as any one seen pair of eyes
AS blue as the sea meath Grecian skies
And sweet red mouth, AMI teeth like pearlf
Wen, they belong to nsy little girl.
She strayed away with prett- pout,
And don't know what it's all about
would give my life, were my life all bliss
To feel again on my cheek her kiss.
She strayed away on q summer morn.
When only The ghost of q storm was born;
And it was born in her eyes of blue.
Idon't know what in the world TO do
Without her smile and her soft caress,
And her presence my days and life to bless.
She was SO fair, delicious and sweet
That my heart never knew twas beneath he
feet
o, she was so sweet and she was so fair.
With her lovely ewes and her soft, warm hair,
And her dear little hands, that f1uttercd so.
And in which the dimples would come and &c
When love or storms made her pink or white,
When she opened them wide, or shut them
tight.
There is only this: must pray TO Him
To send her back in the twilight dim.
